Just when you thought the browser wars were over and Internet Explorer had won, Mozilla's Firefox has been making considerable in-roads into the browser world.
With the security concerns over Internet Explorer, Firefox has been able to capitalize on users fearing intrusion into their PCs. Moreover, when security flaws are found in Firefox, updates are fast in coming (see related story).
Internet Explorer, which nearly had the browser market sewn up, has seen its share drop to under 94%. Still very dominant, mind you, but the trend downward must certainly have some at Microsoft concerned. Will Firefox continue to gain in marketshare? That remains to be seen; 1.0 is just around the corner. Stay tuned at Neowin for exclusive Firefox information.
